Welcome to 887 S Gulfview Drive, a truly one-of-a-kind Clearwater Beach residence offering waterfront living, a deeded private beach, and a unique place in local history. Known by many as Clearwater Beach’s iconic “holdout house,” this distinctive single-family residence remained as the surrounding beachfront transformed and luxury condominium developments rose around it. Today, it stands as a rare piece of Clearwater Beach history—an increasingly uncommon private home in the heart of one of Florida’s most celebrated coastal communities. Featuring approximately 2,900 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, the home offers spacious living and entertaining areas filled with natural light and beautiful water views. Expansive windows create a seamless connection to the coastal surroundings, while the versatile floor plan provides plenty of room for family and guests. Perhaps the property's most exceptional feature is its deeded private beach, offering the opportunity to step from home to the sand and water without the crowds typically associated with Clearwater Beach. Relax along the shoreline, entertain family and friends, or enjoy spectacular Gulf Coast sunsets from your own private coastal retreat. Ideally located near Clearwater Beach's renowned restaurants, boating, shopping, entertainment, and shoreline, this property combines an extraordinary location with a level of privacy and character that would be difficult to recreate today. More than a beach house, 887 S Gulfview Drive is a piece of Clearwater Beach history—a rare waterfront residence with a deeded private beach surrounded by the destination that grew up around it.
